Letters Patent No. 110,410, dated December 20, 1870.

IMPROVEMENT IN IRONING-TABLE ,BUREAUS.

The Sohedule referred to in these Lettere Patent and making part of the lame.

To lall whom it ana-y concern:

Be it known that I, MARGARET WHITE, of Saratoga. Springs, in the county of Saratoga and in the State of New York, have invented certain. new and useful vImprovements' in Combined Ironing-Table and Bureau; and dohereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being hadto Ithe accompanying drawing and tothe letters of reference marked thereon making a part of this specification.

My present invention is intended` as an improvement upon-the4 combined ironing table and bureau for which Letters Patent were granted to me June'14, 1870; and

1tconsists inI making the irouiug-boards adjustable, so that they can be raised, the better to accommodate the ironer. I

y' ln order to ena-ble otherslskillcd in the art to which my invention appertains to make and use-the same, I will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referrin gto theannexed drawing, in which- Figure 'l' is a perspective view of my combined ironing-table and bureau; A Y

Figure 2 is .1. plan 'view of fthe-same, the lid being removed and Figure 3 is asection of the same.

A represents the frame, with the drawers B B, back doors C, and Vlid D, forming the table and bureau, constructed andarranged substantially7 in the same manner as described in my former patent.

E E are the ironing-boards, which in my former patent were hinged directly to the frame A. In this case they are hinged to slides G G, which move in vertical dovctailed grooves on the inner sides of the frame.

The small ends of the ironing-boards.rest upon similar, slides,`G',tl1e upper ends of which are cut out so vas to receive the ends of the boards, as shown in iig. 1.

lhcse slidcsG and Gr mayfbe moved up and downby Aany suitable means," and held at any height, so as to raise the boards higher than the frame, thereby giving more room to adjust articles of dress on the large board, as well as expedite the work.

l l do not confine myself to any particular means for raising, lowering, and holding the slides G G', as that may be done in various ways; for instance, by thumbscrewfspring, ratchet, or any other suitable means.

Having thus fully described my invention, What I. claim asnew, and desire to secure b y Letters latcnt, is-

The vertieally-operating adjustable slides G Gf for supporting the ironing-boards at any height desired, substantially as set forth. y

In testimony that I claimthe foregoing I have here'- uuto set my lia-nd and seal this 12th dayfffNovember, 1780.
